The Müller-Wiener Kolleg welcomes members of DAI projects, participants at events organised by the DAI departments, DAI scholarship holders and all researchers on DAI-related work stays in Istanbul. A stay at the Müller-Wiener Kolleg also includes access to the library, the photo archive, and the other archives of the Istanbul Department.
The Kolleg is named after the building researcher and the department's former first director Wolfgang Müller-Wiener (1976-1988). The premises comprise five rooms (four double and one triple room) as well as two bathrooms and a kitchen. Wi-Fi is available in all rooms. Taksim Square, one of the city's most central transport hubs, is within walking distance.
